One day, you might join the writing team behind The Simpsons, which includes nerds who have degrees and PhDs in mathematics. One of them, Jeff Westbrook, even held a senior research post at Yale University.

10. What did Bertrand Russell say to Alfred North Whitehead?
Correct answer: “My Gödel is killing me!”

Can someone explain?

I got 10 out of 10

Both results come from set theory. ℵ0 is the cardinality (the "size" of the set) of the natural numbers (the integers are the rationals have the same cardinality as well). Sets with cardinality ℵ0 are referred to as "countable": ℵ1 is a strictly larger cardinality (the Continuum Hypothesis, an optional axion, states that cardinality of the real number is ℵ1). Such sets are "uncountable".

Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell (who formed Russel's paradoz - The Library of Congress card catalog lists all card catalogs that do not list themselves. Should the Library of Congress card catalog list itself?) and Gödel (of Gödel's incompleteness theorems) are all prominent figured in the development of axiomatic (ZFC) set theory

More specifically, Godel showed that the aim by mathematicians (or philosophers, depending on who you ask) like Russell to axiomatize arithmetic is impossible. That's why his Godel is killing him.

I believe the continuum hypothesis states that there is no cardinality strictly between aleph_0 and aleph_1. See Continuum hypothesis_________________

Well, every group has its nutjobs, and the Second Amendment crowd is no exception.

Kurt Godel (with two dots over the "o") is a mathematical logician. Wiki him.

if you are too lazy or too dumb to write ö, the write it oe.

Everything else marks you as an idiot.

Real languages don't need funny dots and slashes.

and speaking of language, your second sentence makes no sense.

well, at least I did not exchange some important letter for a completely different one while educating wildhorse._________________Study finds stunning lack of racial, gender, and economic diversity among middle-class white males

wow. you guys are really touchy about umlauts. the funny thing is I even mentioned them.

Yes, we are.

How would you feel about Joonipa? Hm? Where do you come from? Känada? Does that look funny or strange?_________________Study finds stunning lack of racial, gender, and economic diversity among middle-class white males
